I Had Back Pain For A While So - Tumblr Posts

Ok so Rottmnt Donnie headcanon.

Because donnie is a softshell and he has a battle shell to protect himself,he gets fatigues on his shell cuz’ of how heavy the battle shell is.

So sometimes he would begin his day without them,and while the discomfort of the battle shell is gone. the fatigue is there.

And there’s where his fam comes into play. When Raph hugs him he puts a little of pressure on donnie’s shell,he isn’t pressing too hard to hurt don and he isn’t too loose.

Since I live for the Disaster Twins,Leo’s presence already calms donnie down, so he likes it when ‘Nardo leans on his softshell with his own shell. He puts pressure on it and calms him down.

Mikey is either giving Don a massage (don’t ask me how u massage a shell) or is hugging him from behind with his body pressing on donnie’s shell.

April also leans on his shell but not like Leo, cuz she does that thing where you put your elbow on someone’s shoulder or back. It still helps tho.

Now since Cass and Cj (Casey Junior) become part of the family, they need Don to trust them before getting his approval for letting them reduce his shell fatigue pain a bit.

First Cass, when he finally trusts her, she also leans on him either like Lee or April sometimes, depending on her mood.

After trusting Cj, The future boy always leaning his head on him, sometimes he does like Mikey but not by much, and it’s rare.

His dad is mostly on his back tho lol,still helps.

And since I love crossovers.

When 2012 first got stuck in the rise universe. (And getting used to everything),they were confused to find that the rise gang always on donnie’s shell whenever he doesn’t have his battle shell on,and why he isn’t bothered by it.

The moment they were giving the real reason by him is when 12!Donnie and him were working on a machine, and Mikey entered to ask something from Don, he hugged him and pressed his body on his shell while asking AND DON DIDN’T SEEM TO CARE.

12!Don was concerned because isn’t his shell supposed to be vulnerable??, And he asked his Rise!counterpart about it and he was told that pressure helps with his fatigue.

Now. After they got comfortable with each other, the 2012 crew help with that! : D

12!Donnie sometimes would put his hand on Don’s softshell with a little pressure while they work.

12Leo would do like 12!Donnnie or would massage his shell aswell.

12!Mikey either leans like April or hugs him from behind like Mikey.

12!Raph would lean on Donnie any other way tbh,as long as it gets him comfortable and it doesn’t hurt Don too much.

12!April and 12!Casey are together on this cuz..well they both don’t do it as much but when they do, they give light hearted nudges, he’s surprised it’s affective.

12!Splinter does also massages.
